Texas swingers club may be forced to reveal guest list
PARKER COUNTY -- A Texas homeowner may be forced to reveal the names of hundreds of guests at his late-night swinger parties in Parker County, CBS affiliate DFW reports.
Homeowner Randy Carter is being sued by his homeowner association for throwing the bashes at what was dubbed the "Naughty Neighbors" club, which had set hours and entry fees listed on websites for swingers.
Carter refused to comment on the case in court, but he later spotted a CBS 11 crew in the neighborhood and demanded it leave.
"I'm gonna go get my gun," he threatened before re-appearing with his hand hidden near his waist band.
He later approached the crew in front of a neighbor's house.
"They want my guest list for everyone who has come on my property for the last eight years. Would you turn over your guest list?" he asked.
He then headed for the affiliate's news camera and tried pushing it to the ground before throwing himself onto the road and demanding an ambulance be called.
Carter's attorneys say the guest list isn't relevant to the lawsuit, but the attorney for the HOA says the list is necessary to find witnesses who were present at the affairs.
"They can tell us about the loud music, about the lights, about the traffic. And we want to speak to them," attorney Luke Beshara said.
Chase Patterson, who lives next door to the home where the alleged parties were thrown, described it as "extremely busy, loud, lots of traffic" and called the gatherings "a nightly thing,"
Patterson said those crazy nights have come to an end since the lawsuit was filed, but he's curious to see the guest list and to find out who was keeping up his family at night.
"We were told one evening that there were several judges and attorneys on it. So I'd be curious to see if that's the case. We've been told everything else under the sun, too, though," he said.
Once an ambulance crew arrived, Carter refused to be evaluated.
Beshara said he expects a decision from the judge within 30 days.
